A New World After the Apocalypse

At first, because it was a world of cards, and I'd never played card games or read similar novels before, I wasn't used to everything being card-based. I lost interest after reading a few chapters, but then I carefully checked the reader votes, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes—these aren't easily faked; they're proof of reader approval.

It's a bit toxic, I gave up after reading only a few chapters. Saving the woman is one thing, but when the two returned to the safe room and found two little girls in danger downstairs, the woman, with her saintly heart, insisted on going to rescue them—she just wanted to force the protagonist to do it.

Yesterday, while reading, I saw the Guardian card shining brightly, and it suddenly occurred to me that if there are such powerful cards for defending a city, then why can't there be cards for attacking a city? This type of card could be called the Raider. Raiders are not simply creature cards; they can be spell cards, creature cards, and so on.

I'd say I'm a long-time book lover, having been hooked on online novels since their rise to prominence. I've seen countless genres, and I've been following the recent post-apocalyptic series for a while now. The basic formulas are all the same: new achievement systems, zombie sieges, and so on. Perhaps it's because I've seen so many similar ideas, but this book truly felt refreshing.

Almost every old book these days is being venomously criticized, with people dying from the negativity every day. These old books were basically considered masterpieces back then, so please, all you trolls, use your reason when reading them. 😊

Holy crap! This book has over 100,000 recommendation votes! How did it get that? The protagonist's IQ is too low, and neither is the female lead's. They're not even at a normal human level. In the first seven days, he insists on finding Li Xia in the last few hours—what kind of IQ is that? Couldn't he just agree to a date and dinner on the last day?

Others start the game right after being reborn, but you have seven days to prepare. And look at what you've done—all you've prepared is a broken spirit-gathering artifact. Have you thought about your country, your family, and your friends? Did you waste those three years of your life?

For those who have discovered this old book and dislike its "saintly" or whatever, please don't bother reading it. Don't read it, feel wronged, and then come to the comments section to hurl insults. For someone who read it back then, this book is a masterpiece. But if you look at it with today's standards, you'll find it terrible, which is normal. Things change with time.

To all the keyboard warriors in the comments section, this book was written in 2013, when this style was quite popular, so there's no need to judge it with today's standards. Also, I've seen those who post various discouraging comments after just one or two chapters.

Chapter 10: The protagonist dies from poisoning. He's a sycophant, risking his life to save a 7-year-old saintly woman. Seeing twins in danger: "They're in danger, go save them! I know it's dangerous, but since you're so well-prepared, you must know the apocalypse is coming, so go save them..." Is that enough of a saint? And then the protagonist goes?!
